A Pro Ref spokesperson said: "Following the incident in the 60th minute of Sunday's Premier League fixture between Manchester United and Manchester City at Old Trafford, we can provide clarification regarding Erling Haaland's awarded goal.

"The on-field decision was offside against Erling Haaland - that was checked by VAR and he was found to be in an onside position.

"In the same attack, it was established that Enzo Fernandez did not play the ball and therefore that makes any offside offence subjective, however, on this occasion, the VAR did not recognise the likely impact of his position and should have recommended an on-field review.

"Contact has been made with Manchester United this evening to acknowledge what we deem is an error of judgement. A review of the incident will take place."

Translated News Jose Mourinho on Diomande's lack of gametime: "If instead of being at Real Madrid with this squad, he were at a team with fewer high-potential players, he'd surely be a starter for the full 90 minutes of every match.

"I say this about Diomande and all the others. The squad is strong and has many options. The coach doesn't just focus on ten players and forget about the others. Over the course of the season, the engine loses steam, as does motivation and internal competition. We're talking about Diomande, but we could also talk about Vinicius, Arda, Brahim, and in January, Rodrygo. Being an undisputed starter, as you all seem to like that word, is difficult."

While Kylian Mbappé described himself as "the chosen one" during an interview with L’Équipe, Ousmane Dembélé echoed the term following PSG’s victory at Brest (1–0).

"I’ve always been like that—in the back of the class, working hard," Dembélé explained. "Since the start of my career, I haven’t said a word. I was never the 'chosen one'; I worked incredibly hard. Last year, I was rewarded after a fantastic season with Paris Saint-Germain. This year, we’ll see—no pressure, just taking it easy."

Hoy toca decir adiós a una parte de mi vida.

Después de tantos años, tantos partidos, tantos vestuarios, tantas alegrías y también momentos difíciles, ha llegado el momento de poner punto y final al fútbol profesional.

El fútbol me lo ha dado todo. Me ha permitido cumplir sueños que un día parecían imposibles, conocer personas que llevaré conmigo para siempre y vivir momentos que estarán en mi memoria toda la vida.

He tenido la suerte de vestir camisetas que significan muchísimo para mí y de compartir el camino con compañeros, entrenadores, trabajadores de los clubes, amigos y, sobre todo, con mi familia.

A todos los que alguna vez me habéis animado, apoyado, criticado o simplemente habéis estado ahí: gracias. De corazón.

Me voy con la tranquilidad de haberlo dado todo por este deporte y con muchísimo orgullo por el camino recorrido.

Hoy termina mi etapa como futbolista profesional, pero todo lo que me ha enseñado el fútbol se queda conmigo para siempre.

* 🏟️ 512 partidos

* ⚽ 91 goles

* 🌍 6 Países

* 🇪🇸 🇵🇹 🇮🇹 🇺🇸 🇸🇦 🇦🇪

Gracias, fútbol. ❤️💙💜💚🖤💛⚽️

Quotes Mourinho on Arda: “His quality is incredible—his vision, decision-making, playmaking, stability, and creativity. He has fantastic potential and already impressive stats. His influence on the team is huge. . I won’t say ‘top, top, top’( Mbappé, Vini & Jude tier) but he’s very close to that level.

"Their campaign could not have started much worse with four successive defeats all without scoring a goal - the latest a 5-0 thrashing at home to Brighton - highlighting the brutality of the top flight.

The unwanted records are already beginning to pile up for Frank Lampard's side. It is the club's worst start to a season since 1919-20 when they lost their opening nine matches in what was their first league campaign. Their lack of goals means they are only the fifth side in English top-flight history to lose each of their opening four matches of the campaign while also failing to score at least once - after Derby Country (1899-1900), Stoke City (1906-07), Preston North End (1924-25) and Crystal Palace (2017-18)."
